Family Ministries Volunteer Opportunities

Childcare

Qualified staff care for our youngest members every Sunday from 8:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in our nursery on the lower level of the parish house. Parents are given vibrating pagers just in case they are needed in the nursery. Childcare is also offered on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and during some evening and special services.

Church @ the Commons

Most First Sundays, October-June, 10:00 a.m., Kempton Hall. This is a family-friendly Eucharist service offered on the first Sunday of the month, concurrent with the service in the cathedral. Church @ the Commons is a full Eucharistic liturgy with attention to the needs of children and families. Held in the parish hall, it offers children and youth a chance to participate fully in the liturgy and leadership of the service.

Church School

Church school is offered for children aged three through 5th grade at 10:00 a.m. on the 2nd thru 5th Sundays of the month during the 10:00 a.m. worship service. Children 1st grade and older join their families in the cathedral for communion. All classrooms are located in the lower level of the parish house.

All children participate in Godly Play. Godly Play is based on the recognition that children have an innate sense of the presence of God. This Montessori based approach teaches Christian language and Bible stories using the child’s authentic experience of God and natural creativity. All classrooms are located in the lower level of the parish house.
